Rent Freeze and Its Impact on Allowance Limits
Temporary rent freeze affects the rent allowance cap. What does this mean for your calculation?
Rent Freeze Regulations
In 2024-2025, the government will freeze rents in the social housing sector at €288, but allowance limits will continue to be based on the actual rent. The freeze prevents a reduction in allowance due to price increases, though income remains decisive.
Effect: A lower rent keeps you below the quality threshold for longer.
Legal Basis
Temporary Housing Act Rent Freeze 2024 (Parliamentary Document 36500).
Leveraging Benefits
Review your rental agreement and recalculate your allowance. No action is required if adjustments are made automatically.
